Service Dogs and Autistic Children – Pet Tip 253
Dogs help humans in so many ways. They help with companionship, with tasks that they carry out for us and sometimes they help make every day living much easier. Perhaps the best demonstration of this fact is when dogs help people with disabilities. Many of us have seen dogs helping blind people and many have heard of dogs that feel when a seizure in an epileptic person is about to occur and then protect them from injury. Dogs can also help aid autistic children and parents of autistic children in many ways as well. Recent studies suggest that the prevalence of autistic children in Canada may be 1 in 165 children or higher. Therefore, many people may well personally know of an autistic child in their extended family, or know of friends or acquaintances that have an autistic child. So how can dogs help these autistic children?
The National Service Dogs (NSD) organization in Ontario Canada, is one of the best organizations that specifically help train dogs to make the lives of autistic children better. You might be wondering how a service dog can be useful to autistic children

This is a tribute to our beloved cat Tigger. She was 13 yrs old. She was our best friend, Our family. We loved her with all of our heart. She is missed so very much. She was always there for us when we was sick or sad, and when she got sick we was all there for here, and i was by her side til the day she passed on. We will never forget her, Nor could we ever replace her. There will never be another cat like her.She died of cancer. It started as a small tiny bump on her side that developed into a huge one by the 6th month. It popped and we called the vet and told us it was just a infection and not to worry, but 3 weeks later we found out it was cancer and she had to go away to a special place where she could be in peace and not have to suffer from that horrible-ness. It broke my heart to think about it, and hurt me even more when it happened. I just wanna say to u Tigger. Where ever u are. I hope that u can finally rest now. I love u and miss u so very much, And so does ur lil friend Mandy. I hope that u never forget us, cuz we will never forget u. U will always be in our hearts. I hope that one day we meet again. Til then I hope that ur watchin over us.You are our lil angel..
